Most of us would initially respond that our hope is\nplaced in the Lord. However, if we examine our hearts and lives, we might have to admit that we are often\ntempted to place our trust in earthly people or things. For example, money promises to ensure that we will\nbe secure and that our needs will be met in this life, so we are tempted to place our hope in financial\nresources rather than in God. In Micah 5:7-15, Micah offers a word of hope regarding God’s restoration of the\nremnant of Jacob, which, ironically, promises that God will cut off horses, chariots and strongholds. In a\nsection about hope and restoration, this seems unusual. However, Micah points out that God’s people will\nmost assuredly know the Lord is the source of their hope because He will cut off all other forms of security\nand strength. God is not revealing His hatred against His people. He is restoring His holiness in His people."}
